The moment Alan Cumming taps Rob Rausch to join his secret circle of murderers in the fourth season premiere of “The Traitors,” a faint grin crosses what we can see of Rausch’s half-obscured face. Since he and everyone else are blindfolded, Rausch is confident no one will notice that tell. Thus far, it has been the only diabolic flicker he’s displayed.
“I’m hard to read. I’ve been told that by every girl I’ve ever dated. And I’m extremely competitive,” Rausch says in the confessional interview that follows, where he says he’s as happy as can be and knows he’ll make a good Traitor.
